Deadline extension for Horizon Europe EIC Pathfinder & Accelerator

dealine extension in EIC calls

Published on: 18/10/2023

The EIC Accelerator will be extended from 19 October to 8 November;
The EIC Pathfinder will be extended from 18 October to 25 October.

In light of the disruptions caused by the fallout of Hamas’ terrorist attacks across Israel, the European Commission has carefully assessed the challenges experienced by partner organisations in the region.

These circumstances make it difficult to timely complete and submit proposals to some Horizon Europe calls with deadlines in the coming days and weeks.

Due to this, the European Commission has decided for an exceptional extension of several Horizon Europe call cut off dates, allowing more time to submit applications.

This extension is meant to provide extra time and assistance to help overcome difficulties individual applicants may be facing in the present context, without unduly delaying the implementation of Horizon Europe actions.

The calls for which deadlines will be extended for all applicants, irrespective of the country where the organisation is based, are the following:

  • The ERC Starting Grant Call will be extended from 24 October to 7 November;
  • The ERC Synergy Call will be extended from 8 November to 15 November;
  • The EIC Accelerator will be extended from 19 October to 8 November;
  • The EIC Pathfinder will be extended from 18 October to 25 October.
